nancy pelosi goes global

Madame Speaker Nancy Peolsi just announced she and several of her cronies are flying to Greenland to watch a glacier melt. This will help her understand global warming. Sure. Like watching ice cubes melt in hot tea helps you understand it. Then, Pelosi and pals will dash off to Europe on Pelosi's tax-funded jet to talk about how to stop CO2 emissions. Guess she didn't get the memo about air planes spewing death from the skies. While she's in Greenland maybe she can find out how the place got its name. Hint: Not because of its ice cap.

Speaker Pelosi was accompanied on this trip by Representative David Hobson(R), Ohio. Following are some quotes from Mr. Hobson, excerpted from
http://www.daytondailynews.com/o/content/oh/story/opinions/columns/2007/06/04/ddn060407wehrman.html

"This is an issue that cannot be ignored,"
"The longer we wait to do it, the more difficult it becomes to stabilize or reverse,"
"most people in Congress know there's a problem. Where there's a disagreement is how to fix the problem, how to do it without doing a lot of damage to the current economy."
"I can't leave my grandchildren with this problem,"

I, for one, am glad to see bipartisanship in the Congress, but we need more bipartisanship, both in the Congress and the electorate. I look forward to the day when both sides can discuss issues without sarcasm and rancor. Someone has to start it.
